After the U joint project, I am up for the next item on my list. Oil Pan.
2004 Ram 2500 4x4 Hemi
I will be replacing the oil plan for my truck soon. Any tips from you pros out there? I have heard/read that you may need t loosen the engine mount and jack the engine up slightly? Is that necessary?
I live in Boston and the oil pan is rusty from the snow and salt. My biggest concern for this job is breaking the bolts. I have already purchased a set of new bolts from the dealer for $11. Purchased OEM oil pan and gasket. I will be spraying a rubberize coating on the new pan before installing.
Any tips and advises will be greatly appreciated. And I will post photo write-up for this too when I work on it.
Many thanks.
